About Me

-football---my family and house are there. :) While plans could change--I was originally planning to be here for two years and I am starting my fifth--it seems disingenuous to claim that I want to get married next week when my future residency is unsure. So...I would love to date. Even exclusively. But don't be angry if I won't agree to live here forever on our second evening out.I am currently teaching reading at the college level and loving it. I am also working on an Ed.D degree, so I work hard to enjoy my free time! I enjoy sharing new adventures with others--my last escapade was firewalking. I love snorkeling, roller coasters and art galleries, live theatre and local bands, cooking for friends and visiting with family, sharing a new book, debating new ideas and anything that challenges me to expand my horizons. I feel most relaxed near the water and can enjoy an evening of silliness and dancing as easily as a great movie or stimulating debate. I am hoping to find a responsible AND fun-loving individual. You don't need to buy me a gourmet dinner, but you should be able to foot your part of the bill. You should be able/willing to start the weekend without plans and enjoy whatever eventuates. I enjoy debate and discussion--I speak my mind and expect others to do the same. I would love to meet someone who has a CLUE about major authors, artists, and intellectual ideas. (That sure sounds harsh, but I hope you know what I mean!) I feel most at peace near the ocean and would love to find someone who shares my affinity for the beach.If I am busy, it is not personal. I teach and study and tutor and have friends. I have a couple evenings a week that I would love to spend with the right person, but I don't need to talk to you four times a day to make sure that we still like each other.If you are up for exploring--with a friend who could become more--I hope you will drop me a line. ummmmmmmm...how about we decide this one together. Start with a beverage and see where the evening goes.

    I love nature, and being outside, long walks on the beach with the special person in my life. I am a very physically active person.Love people and animals. Enjoy all types of music and sporting events. Would love to meet someone who has integrity and honor that has the same interests as mine . So, If you're out there please, please message me. I love musicians also. A picnic on the beach or nice candle lit dinner. Also long walks on the beach are a plus.

    Oh! You're here, thank goodness! I thought you would never find me. I've been roaming around trying to find you! And who are you? Who is the man that's here to steal my heart...YOU are:The funny, intelligent, handsome type of guy that can hold me spellbound with a story or make me laugh until I cry. I love creativity and passion. Maybe it's your love of 80's music, you're baseball card collection or the fact that you moved across country with only a duffle bag- it doesn't matter. The right man not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. We push each other to be the greatest we can be. We boost each other's egos and leave short thoughtful messages for each other. If you're comfortable in your own skin and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I think we will get along fine! And what about ME? Even the best things in life are better when shared with someone! I'm pragmatic but spontaneous. Nurturing but competitive. Peaceful but energetic. Funny but sarcastic. Loving but strong. I'm the kind of girl you can take home to Mom. I would rather be with a man who has big dreams and no money than a man with no dreams and big money. Truth is I'm just a nice girl (most of the time) who's looking for fun and companionship. If you would like to know more, just ask!

    Added Note: If you only have a sentence or two on your profile and end it with "If you want to know anything, just ask" - c'mon, put a bit more effort into it.. If i favorite you, I am not trying to be creepy (not that I think that is bad - we all have our thing***it just means that your profile caught my eye and I want to check it out when I have more time.If you wish to message me that is fantastic, I will usually respond (I have not returned several messages due to the fact you have obviously not read my profile). However, please message something other than: "hey", "nice hair", "nice eyes". I don't expect a disertaton - just give me something with which to respond. I am not looking to move quickly into a relationship - get to know each other and go from there - just let things develop naturally. I am not big on drama though I know we all have a bit - it shouldn't define or be a major part of who you are. If we don't "click" just be honest about it - I am open to establishing friendships providing you don't creep me out - you know who you are.About me - 1. I enjoy going out, but I don't like being on the go constantly. Sometimes just hanging out and doing nothing is great. Drinking beer/coffee on the back deck just talking and laughing has been some of the most enjoyable times I have had.2. I find the funny side of just about anything. My humor is diversified: silly, goofy, irreverent, sarcastic,cynical. I love to laugh.3. I hate to clean but enjoy living in a clean house - so I compromise and clean anyway. This is very subjective.4. I do not like mean people - condescending and judgmental make for a negative aura and exudes ugliness regardless of physical beauty. Compassion and kindness are a big turn on and the way the universe intended us to be. (remember: God or whatever you worship don't like ugly)5. I am naturally curious, and I ask a ton of questions - yes, I am one of those people. I just don't know how to know you otherwise. If I don't ask alot of questions, it means I find you unbelievably boring or weird- Although weird I can work with, boring not so much.I know, I know - putting stipulations on what/who i am looking for turns some people off, but why waste time on dealbreakers?1. Please be able to hold an intelligent conversation ***that involves more than the latest sporting event. Stimulate my brain! 2. If you are an avid NASCAR fan - meaning you have an entire room in your house dedicated to the gods of NASCAR, or you spend Sundays glued to the tv - we are probably not going to hit it off very well. Nothing wrong with NASCAR, if you enjoy it rock on; however, not interested in this insanity.3. Be gainfully employed - if you are going back to school, be enrolled otherwise - well, I will just leave it at that. NOTE: I am not speaking of those that have been laid off due to the economy, but rather those that have a constant excuse for not being employed and have not held a job in years. You know the category in which you fit. Let me add, I am not money motivated or materialistic - I am just a believer that one should be self sufficient (men and women alike).4.= just be clean and smell good.5. Sense of humor and upbeat - there are so many things to laugh about and enjoy in life. I enjoy witty banter and that personality is what I respond to the most.7.- please be within 45min of me - it's just top hard to spend much time together otherwise. 8. Let's plan on a casual meeting within a few messages. I'm not into cyber relationships. No reason to keep things going if there is no chemistry.9. If you hate my profile or something offends you, don't send me ugly messages, just move on.I am needing to add this regarding children:I have a rockin' 12 yr old that I adore (at least 95% of the time). You need to understand that although he is my priority, I do like adult conversation and company. With proper planning going out is not a problem; however, getting together on the spur of the moment is not usually an option. His father and I are amicable, but are not "best friends" - so my schedule is somewhat flexible.I am not under any circumstances interested in having more children. Yes, I know they already have a mother (and I know they are your world and your heart, yada, yada, yada - I would expect no less), but I am a very nurturing person and would welcome your children into my life if things were to progress to that point.This profile is not meant to be condescending or mean. I have just dealt with each of these issues in the past and it was not a good thing. I feel that most of the things on my list are just common sense. I am a nice person and am looking for the same. I know what I want and would hope at this point in life you do as well. First meet up - coffee and conversation
